Our Story
Worthy was founded in May 2014 after founder Ben De-Kalo and his wife set out to sell a diamond necklace.
They discovered there were very few trustworthy, transparent options available to consumers.
Realizing this gap, De-Kalo envisioned a more empowering solution: a secure online auction platform designed to give sellers greater confidence and access to competitive pricing through our professional buyer network. Born out of a desire to support our clients who are often dealing with major life events, such as divorce or the loss of a loved one, Worthy has created a competitive marketplace designed to help sellers realize the true value of their items in a safe, supportive, trustworthy environment.
